When:
Short story:
Jimmy Nicol, the drummer who stood in for Ringo Starr when The Beatles toured Australia, Oceania, is declared bankrupt in court in London, England, UK.
Full article:
Jimmy Nicol : Standing in for Ringo was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Up until then I was feeling quite happy, turning over £30 to £40 a week. I didn't realise that it would change my whole life. I had half-a-million pounds worth of publicity and immediately I was offered three-weeks at Blackpool standing in for Dave Clark at £350 a week. Everyone in show business said I couldn't miss.
Ringo Starr : I didn't think he could fail. No-one did.
Jimmy Nicol : I was the hottest name there was. But, after the headlines died, I began dying too. No-one wanted to know me any more. I borrowed from everyone and anyone.
